Anderson1933 - 2013

Lois
Keener Anderson, a long time resident of Shasta County,
died on Tuesday, November 26, 2013 at Mercy
Medical Center following a year long battle with cancer.

Lois was born October 6, 1933 in Three Sands,
Oklahoma. She was the youngest of eleven children born
to Albert and Myrtle Keener. Times were tough in
Oklahoma in the 1930’s and when Lois’ father died
suddenly in 1937 life got a little tougher. Lois’ mother
Myrtle decided to take her family west, first settling
in Canyon City, Colorado; but after a year decided to
move further west to California. They arrived in Fall
River Mills, California where Lois’ sister Edith and her
husband John Thomas resided. There the family thrived.
Lois made friends in Fall River that would last a
lifetime. At the age of 18, Lois met John ‘Andy’
Anderson at a softball game where he was pitching and
her sister Reba’s husband was the catcher.

In
1952 after Lois graduated from her beloved Fall River
Mills High School she married Andy. The two first
settled in Fall River where Andy began his career with
P.G.& E. Andy was transferred to Redding, then
Weaverville and back to Red ding where they settled
raising their two daughters Wanda and Diana. Lois was
very active in raising her girls and was an avid
participant in all their activities. She was an
excellent seamstress, which came in handy with two
girls. When the girls got older, she decided to join the
work force by enrolling in classes at Shasta College.
She then became employed by the Shasta Union High School
District/Nova High School as the head baker for twenty
plus years, home of the “no-bake brownies.” Some of her
recipes had even won state awards. She retired from the
school district in 1989. Lois and Andy enjoyed traveling
the states, being involved in their church and spending
time with their family, who she loved and adored.

Services will be held at the First Church of the
Nazarene on Bechelli Lane, Redding, CA at 11:00 a.m. on
December 13, 2013. A pot-luck will follow at the church.

In Memory ofDoris Allen Trump

August
13, 1941 – November 16, 2013 Doris Allen Trump, 72,
passed away in Burney, CA, the place she called home for
more than 30 years. Born in Werder, Germany, she was the
second daughter born to Wilhelm and Martha Reiner. Doris
came to the U.S. in 1963 at the age of 22 where
she lived in Benicia, CA with her U.S. Military husband
and their young son David. Some years later, Doris met
and married Fred Allen. They owned and operated a
successful sporting goods business before moving to
Burney. She was preceded in death by her husband Fred
Allen in 2010.

Doris loved to crochet and knit,
if fact, she was considered an expert. She delighted her
friends with her beautiful handcrafted gifts. Doris took
immense pride in keeping a beautiful; neat-as-apin yard,
a daunting task amongst her too-manyto- count giant pine
trees. Many compliments were given by neighbors and
passers-by on what a beautiful yard and home she kept.
“Everyone should work hard” is what she believed.

During her life in the mountains, Doris and Fred
enjoyed fishing. Doris took bragging to a new level when
she caught the biggest (or most) fish! She worked as a
waitress at a local deli and worked at the Ben Franklin
store for many years. She loved fitness and would go to
the local gym regularly. Ring-Ring would sound a little
bell and you would turn around to see Doris waving hello
as she rode her bicycle all around town. Doris loved
music and was a devoted Elvis fan and really
enjoyed listening to Freddie Fender!

In her
later years, Doris found joy, companionship and love
with Lawrence Trump. They married in May of 2012. Both
retired, together they were free to travel and explore.
And that they did!

Please join us to Celebrate
the Life of Doris Allen Trump on Saturday, December 7,

years, and his parents Asa and Helen Schneider
and family, for she was the sister and daughter
that they never had. Linda is remembered fondly
by her FRHS graduation class of 1972, as being
the life of the party.

Linda loved flowers,
to garden and to can fruits and vegetables
with her husband and family. She was an
excellent cook and was always there to help,
working tirelessly for special functions ..to
cook, bake luscious desserts, make salads, and
serve. Linda was a good cribbage and bridge
(card) player. In the past few years Linda
enjoyed writing poetry, attending church,
studying history, and taking the time to impart
to those she felt dear to, the wisdom of her
lifetime, ...though this precious gift was cut
short, her memory will last many lifetimes.

Her Uncle Eldon and
Aunt Alice remember her as so full of life and
they will miss her laugh. Uncle Eldon speaks of
her old fashioned ways, how she wanted to live
more simply with traditional methods of life. He
speaks of the old ringer washing machine that
she used for many years that was her
grandmothers’.

Linda worked as a
Dr’s. Office clerk in Fall River for over 20
years and generated many work family
relationships that will be missed.

Linda had many nieces
and nephews, grand nieces and nephews, by blood
relationship, by marriage, and by adoption of
her close friends families. All of whom will
miss her unconditional love and how to make
light of difficult situations.

Linda’s kind and
generous heart taught her many true blue
friends, lessons of friendship which will always
remain within them. Her friends and family won’t
forget Linda’s ways to make life fun with her
quick wit, infectious laugh, and occasional
practical joke. Sadly, that part of their life
has now come to an end. So we mourn a the loss
of an angel of heart too soon in life, but know
that her lifelong examples will remain within
us. Thank you Linda for your imprint. We hope
that we can be the dedicated husband, friend,
sister, and aunt, that you have taught us to be.
In return we will attempt to carry on thelaughter that your
memories bring out in us.

fight where she met Joe McAbee. He was just starting his boxing
career after being discharged from the Navy. They were married
after a short engagement. They had four children Martin, Mac, Rita
and Sam.

Anita was a people person with a positive
attitude and a charming personality that engaged the potential
adventures of life. In addition to supporting and loving her
children, she loved the Lord, music and dancing and definitely
politics. The last few years of her life she was involved with the

offices and the shipyard in San Diego. Among her achievements was
graduating from Kingsway Bible College in Des Moins, Iowa. After

claim to fame was her lunch date with Elvis Presley in Las Vegas

Anita’s last 16 months of life were spent in
long term care at Mayers. It was there that she met the love of
her life, Elbert Glover. He was the last good thing in her life.

doing jigsaw puzzles. Elbert did the puzzles and Anita gave her
support and encouragement with her presence. The relationship
developed over shared pudding cups and stolen kisses. Their
unanimous request was that they could have a room together. The
hospital’s requirements were met by a ceremony performed by her
daughter-in-law, Vicky McAbee, a licensed minister, performed the

the end.

In Memory of
Hugh Francis Wilson

Hugh
Francis Wilson, longtime Fall River Valley resident and
businessman, passed away July 10, 2013 in Peoria, Arizona. His
family was by his side.

He was born in Santa Monica, California in 1929
to Hugh and Nell Wilson. He spent his childhood in Tehachapi
before the family settled in Mountain View. He met Marjorie
Christiansen in 1949 and they were married in 1951. Shortly after
their wedding, Hugh was sent overseas to serve in the U.S. Army’s
2nd Infantry Division in the Korean War.

After his discharge, Hugh and Marge eventually
settled in San Jose. Hugh had worked in the meat packing business
since his teens and returned to the profession that he excelled
in. He was a journeyman butcher with the Northern California
Butcher’s Union until 1963, when he was offered the opportunity to
manage the Handy Dandy Market in Fall River Mills. His love of the
area, and the hunting and fishing, made this prospect too good to
pass up. He eventually bought the business and renamed it the
Valley Market. Hugh operated the market into the 1980s and
continued to run his butchering business. He sold the market and
opened Wilson’s Custom Slaughter and Meat Processing in Pittville.
The business brought them good fortune and the opportunity to
travel during the winter months to Arizona and Mexico. They
enjoyed the company of old friends on similar adventures and new
acquaintances who would become lifelong friends. When Hugh
retired, their travels extended throughout the country and into
Canada. They relocated to Ajo, Arizona in 1997 to the warmth of
the desert.

Hugh was preceded in death by his parents,
sister Shirley Davis and his daughters, Marcelle and Suzanne. He
leaves Marjorie, his wife of 62 years, and his daughter Karen
(Jim) Healy. His anecdotes and renowned card playing skills will
be greatly missed by grandsons Ryan (Krista) Healy and Tyler
(Angelina) Healy; and his mischievousness has inspired a new
generation with great grandgirls Lily, Kalina, Kiah and Shayla. He
was the favorite “Uncle Bubba” to nephew Jeff Davis and niece
Cheryl Holman.

Services are pending at this time.

In Memory of

David
Durfee Fitzwater, Jr.

David
Durfee Fitzwater, Jr. was born 4 February 1948, Fall River Mills,
CA, died, May 17, 2013, Gresham, OR. He was the oldest of four
children born to David Durfee Fitzwater, Sr. and Viola Frances
Grossman Fitzwater.

He left Fall River Mills at the age of 5, and went on to graduate
from Upper Lake High School, Clear Lake, CA in 1966.

David served in the U.S. Army, 1968-1970, in Germany. After
returning home, he attended California State University,
Sacramento, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Accounting in
1978. He spent the last 17 years working for Essilor as an Oracle
database administrator and programmer.

David was a man born 150 years too late. He would have been
happier to have passed quietly under God’s canopy than in a
hospital room. He was a gifted photographer with a love for fly
fishing, backpacking into the deep wilderness and being in the out
of doors. He went to just about any rodeo he could find within
driving distance. He also loved good wine, Mexican food and
Starbuck’s. Music brought him joy, especially listening to the
blues, and he bought season tickets to the Oregon Youth
Philharmonic.

David was a very private person letting few people into his
personal circle. His long time friend Gene Cooke, his cousin
Leslie Lawson, and his love, Christine Cole saw him through the
last months. We feel blessed to have been there for him.

He is survived by the love of his life, Christine Cole; Father,
David D. Fitzwater, Sr. (Karen) of Grants Pass, OR; Mother, Viola
Fitzwater, of Salem, OR; sisters, Melissa (Gordon) Shelton,

In Memory of
Winna Maloney

Our
dear Great-Great Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Grandmother,
Mother, Sister, Teacher and Friend, Winna Maloney, went home the
morning of July 19th, surrounded by family. As the matriarch of
our family and God’s true right hand on earth, she leaves a legacy
that will remain beyond our years.

As a music teacher for 72 years, she inspired and nurtured
countless musicians, many of whom carry on her work as teachers.
Her love of music also allowed those of us with slightly less
skill to learn enough to plunk around on the piano and have an
appreciation for those with a gift. As a literacy coach, she gave
people the ability to do what most of us take for granted. Some
people reading this very article today do so because of her caring
nature. As an English as a second language teacher, she helped
people learn to communicate with others. Some of her greatest joy
came from helping others understand the proper pronoun to use when
chatting with someone at the grocery store. As a volunteer at the
hospital, she would say she was going to play for the “old folks”
(we would often tease her that there was only one or two of those
folks that were actually older than her). Her stories of patients
that normally had nothing to say, singing out, tapping their foot,
or simply mouthing the words to some of her favorite hymns made us
marvel at her love of others.

As the anchor of our family, Grama showed us all how to laugh,
cry, be caring, thoughtful and tough, do the right thing no matter
how hard, play Yahtzee and, perhaps most importantly, to always
have our eyes toward heaven and our hearts right with God. She
always had the right thing to say to encourage her family, even
when we might not have even known that we needed the
encouragement. Her “direct hotline” to God was always one we
plugged into in time of need. Though she has taught us well to
carry on, she will be greatly missed.

Born in Shamrock, Texas on October 29, 1918, Winna married Jim
Maloney in 1939 and moved to California in 1940 where they started
a family of their own. In 1980 they moved to the Fall River
Valley. A helicopter ride last year at the Intermountain Fair
confirmed to her why she moved here: she said “this is the most
beautiful place on earth.” During the ride, she got a view from
above of the church she helped build with her own hands and heart;
something of which she was very proud. She is survived by her
sister, Peggy Harris of Vernon, TX; her children, Jim Maloney Jr
of Torrance, CA and Kathy (Bill) Hudson of Fall River Mills, CA;
Grandchildren, Debbie (Dale) Phelps, Richard (Lori) Hudson, Dawn
(Justin) Shiffert and Jason Maloney; nine Great Grandchildren and
four Great-Great Grandchildren.

A celebration of Winna’s life will be held at 10am on Saturday,
August 3rd at the Glenburn Community Church: light refreshments
will be served. Please come and share with family and friends this
special time to honor a remarkable woman.

Interment will be private. In lieu of flowers, the family requests
that donations be made in Winna’s name to Intermountain Hospice,
PO Box 459, Fall River Mills, 96028.

In Memory of Elma Estes

Valley in 1933. In 1939 she met the love of her life, Bill Estes;

held and the way he is remembered for the things that he did in

In Memory of
Rollin Schortgen

Rollin
Dale Schortgen of Little Valley, CA passed away March 27, 2013.
Rollin was born in Redding, CA March 17, 1939 to Al and Della
Schortgen and raised on a ranch by Jim and Stella Estes in
Pittville along with brothers David, Melvin, Wallace, and sister
Clara. As a teenager Rollin moved to Chico where he met and fell
in love with Juanda Labron. They married and had three children;
Ruth, Rick, and a baby (Rhonda) who preceded him in death.

A self-taught mechanic, Rollin worked various
jobs relying on his mechanical abilities for which he could fix,
repair, fabricate, and work on anything from a Briggs & Stratton
mower engine to a Freight Liner semi truck. In 1983 Rollin moved
back to the area where he was raised and started his own mobile
repair, towing, and automotive parts business. He built a shop on
his property to work on many rebuild projects: overhauls,
repairing, and tinkering on jeeps, trucks, and old cars.

Rollin had a passion for always having a
dog or two --or more—around for companionship. Rollin had an open
personality and made friends easily. Usually a conversation with
him would lead to cars, trucks, or a cart or two that he either
had or could get for you through someone he knew. Rollin is
survived by his daughter Ruth Torre and her husband John, his son
Rick and his wife Debbie, 5 granddaughters and 3 great grand sons.
He is also survived by brothers David and Wallace, and his sister
Clara and their families. He was preceded in death by brother
Melvin. He leaves behind beloved companions Midge Parsons and Ann
Knight, numerous cousins and many, many friends.

Graveside services will be held on Saturday,
April 6, 2013, 1:00 p.m. at the PineGrove Cemetery in McArthur
with family and friends officiating. Arrangements are being
handled by McDonalds Chapel Burney. www.mcdonaldschapelburney.com

In Memory of
Eleanor “Ellie” Sauble
1924-2013

Eleanor
Grace “Ellie” Sauble was born February 15, 1924 in Springfield, MA
to Harry and Grace Knight. She cherished her birth family and
spent much time with them at the family’s cottage in the
Berkshires. She became an accomplished pianist in her early years
and played often in many venues for the benefit of others.

She graduated from Lexington High School in
Lexington, MA in 1942. Extremely active in college, she was
involved with Sigma Kappa, Protestant Council, Scarlet Key, French
club, Beta Sigma Phi and airmen support groups. She graduated from
Boston University in 1946.

After college she taught languages and piano at
Northboro High School in MA where she also received recognition
for her teaching and involvement. Later she worked for System
Development Corp (Raytheon).

She was transferred across the country to Los
Angeles, CA in 1957. It was at this time that she became involved
in the Single Young Adults of Westwood Methodist Church. In this
group she made lifelong friends one of whom became her husband on
May 9, 1959, Earl Richard “Dick” Sauble. She
enthusiastically became mother to Dick’s young son, Rick, as Dick
was a widower. The couple lived in Receda and then in Woodland
Hills, CA where their son, Jim, and daughter, Janet, were born. In
1964, Dick and Ellie (along with Dick’s parents) moved to the old
Ratledge ranch in Hat Creek, CA where, surrounded by hardworking,
good people, they put down their roots permanently.

Ellie was the antithesis of laziness. While
raising the kids she worked in benefits, school programs,
musicals, PTA, Grange, 4-H, Girl Scouts, Nurses Aids, Music Day
Camps, substituting in the schools, teaching home-bound students,
and teaching piano. She and Dick hosted the annual Farm Bureau
picnic several years and had community apple squeezing parties.

On the sideline Ellie made lovely braided rugs,
did square dancing, pretended to like the gifts of snakes, lizards
and mice brought in by her daughter, cooked up the fish we caught,
and played Bridge with Dick and friends.

Ellie poured herself out for others: her
family, friends, strangers, especially the elderly and homebound.
She expressed her love through hospitality, music and letter
writing.

Ellie passed away on March 4 at the age of 89.
She is survived by her children, Rick, Jim and Janet and their
spouses, her siblings, Burt, Arlene and Harry and their spouses,
her 17 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren. Dick, her husband
of 41 years, preceded her in death.

In loving Memory ofLester James Warner

On
February 24, 2013 Lester James Warner passed away at Mayers
Memorial Hospital in Fall River Mills, CA. He was a loving husband
to Sarah Maxine Warner and lived in the town of Cassel for the
past 30 years. He was married to Maxine for 63 years. He is
survived by Maxine and three adult children, four grandchildren,
and six great grandchildren. His oldest daughter Carolyn Sue Page-Stalnacker
resides in Martinez, CA and her two daughters Julie and Stephanie
reside in Central California and Oregon respectively. His son
James Robert Warner lives in Central California along with his
wife and their two sons. Patricia Gravenmeier resides in Texas
with her family. He is also survived by his sister, Ana Grochow of
Tustin, California.

Lester James Warner was an active and vital
member of his community. He was a graduate of Long Beach State
with a degree in engineering and served in the Navy. He was at
Pearl Harbor in WWII and served in a civil position for over 30
years. His colorful career included a stint as a test pilot, and
he traveled the world working on electrical systems in any port of
call required by our military. After retiring to Cassel at age 50,
he continued to serve his community and worked for a local group
of contractors who employed a group of superiorly skilled retirees
who called themselves “The Chain Gang.” He also helped in the
rebuilding and refurbishing of the First Baptist Church in Burney.
During the fire which devastated the area surrounding Burney, he
served with the volunteer fire department operating a ham radio to
assist in the positioning of firefighters and equipment. Even
after his career ended he considered himself “on call” to assist
the community in any way possible and could be counted on to lend
his skills to jobs large and small, wherever there was a need.

As his son it is my pleasure to share his
accomplishments and to say a few words about the man who often
didn’t say a word about what he did to help others. He set a
wonderful example to his family and community.

in Fall River Mills, CA. Tuffy spent his whole life living and
working in the Fall River Valley. Tuffy worked for his Uncle Boss
at the McArthur Mercantile during his youth. Tuffy was

let the disease beat him. Tuffy loved to cut wood, ride horses,
chase cattle and work in his garden. As Tuffy got older his
passion became his dahlia’s. The citizens of the Fall River Valley
got to enjoy Tuffy’s dahlia’s at the Intermountain Fair, in
pictures around town, but most of all during the annual garden
tour. Tuffy raised many types of flowers and vegetables in his
green house that he provided to many community members and
organizations. Tuffy was a huge supporter of the McArthur FFA and
was an honorary chapter member. Tuffy helped the McArthur FFA with
their annual plant sale in the spring. Tuffy is survived by his
